LadyCFII: In the game that I mentioned, (buying the spice rack caused a work loop)I bought the coffee maker to see what happened. It DID take them out of the loop, but then they made coffee 3 or 4 times before continuing their work sequence. They DID finish the sequence though...which is better than looping between chopping and spicing!

In the next generation, I'll add one more kitchen item and let you know what happens.
